"Kolchugtsvetmet-NN" (domain kolchugnn.ru) is the website of the Nizhny Novgorod representative office of OJSC "Kolchugino Non-Ferrous Metals Processing Plant named after S. Ordzhonikidze," known from web archive snapshots since 2001[1][2]. The nn.ru directory described it as a representative office of the plant, "established on the basis of the state enterprise of the same name," engaged in non-ferrous metal rolling[2].
What the site looked like and what it offered
An early 2007 snapshot captures only a minimal placeholder: the organization's name and the copyright notice "© OJSC 'Kolchugtsvetmet'," with no expanded content[1]. By 2021 the site had become a full-fledged product catalog under the heading "Non-Ferrous Metal Rolled Products in Nizhny Novgorod": sections for brass, copper, bronze, aluminum, and nickel rolled products with subcategories (sheet, strip, rod, wire, pipe, ingot, and other items), as well as separate pages on tin, solders, babbitt alloys, lead, and zinc[2]. The home page stated that "the joint-stock company 'Kolchugtsvetmet-NN' has operated in the metallurgical market since 1999, being a reliable supplier of non-ferrous rolled metal products for many industrial enterprises in Russia," as the home page reported[2]. It also stated that permanent stocks of copper, brass, bronze, and aluminum rolled products amounted to "more than 20 tons and over 300 items," and that the company's office and warehouse were located in a single facility equipped with "modern lifting and weighing equipment," as the home page reported[2]. Services offered to clients included rod cutting, uncoiling of wire and copper pipe in coils, packaging and pre-assembly of orders, as well as shipping via freight companies across Russia; a "flexible discount system, with special terms for regular clients" was in effect, as the home page reported[2]. The page footer credited the development to "OOO Webrazrabotka — Website Creation" with contact number 89056611860; this is the data of the web studio, not of the metal-rolling representative office itself[2]. The address and phone number of the "Kolchugtsvetmet-NN" office itself are not recorded in the surviving snapshots.
Place in the Nizhny Novgorod internet
The site was listed in the nn.ru directory under the /rub/ section[2]. In the surviving samples of the Counter.nn.ru rating, no data on traffic or ranking for this domain appears, and no votes for it within the Nizhny Novgorod Internet Day are recorded in our data — the methodology for documenting such gaps is discussed in more detail in the Archival study of the Nizhny Novgorod internet from the counter.nn.ru rating. Nevertheless, the site's belonging to the Nizhny Novgorod segment of the network is confirmed by the .ru domain zone with an explicit Nizhny Novgorod tie in the content — the company "Kolchugtsvetmet-NN" positioned itself as a supplier of non-ferrous rolled metal products specifically in Nizhny Novgorod, as reflected in the home page's heading[2], thereby falling within the general scope of the Nizhny Novgorod Internet.
Fate of the address
According to the census record, the domain kolchugnn.ru was first captured by the web archive on October 24, 2001, and the last preserved snapshot is dated March 1, 2025[2]. As of a check in August 2026, the site at this address was responding.
